17.In a recently delivered judgment by the Supreme Court in case NJA 2013 s. 477, the Supreme Court held that a bifurcation of a dispute in arbitration and court proceedings would lead to a review of the merits of the dispute in two different proceedings causing complex issues and with lis pendens and res judicata being further complicated. Moreover, it would, in general, result in the dispute resolution lacking efficiency. Therefore, it is natural that arbitral tribunals and courts, when called upon to interpret arbitration clauses, assume to a considerable extent that it was not the intention of the parties to bifurcate the proceedings to different foras.s. 672
